depends what you mean by radical. If the long block is stock, a huge cam will take power away. Definitely shoot for UNDER .500" lift at the valves if it's the stock longblock. And you'll probably end up doing valve springs and valve seals on the stock heads.

Anyway, to do a small cam like this, you'll have to convert it to mass air if it doesn't already have it.
